It’s not unimaginable. This is the same peace deal the kremlin peddled to Trump in 2016 via Kilimnik. And don’t forget Jared’s multiple Middle East “peace deals” that never included Palestine. There’s been like three of those.
Himes: "This shows Steve Witkoff almost literally sitting side with the Russians on this ... it's unimaginable to consider the fact that you would propose a peace deal that the Ukrainians didn't even know about."

Dear Bluesky,
www.thenerve.news is still tiny. We launched it with no dirty money (no money at all, lol!). But we're proving what's possible with a small expert team & no billionaire owners.

This is the Observer's coverage of the Reform Russian Spie Scandal... 600 words on page 22 of the printed newspaper.

Fuck they’re useless. Unless of course you’re a fossil fuel company, News Corpse, Advance or a total, clueless arsehole.
Dan Tehan says the Liberals’ new plan to reduce emissions will include new taxpayer funded Coal projects.

The New York Times have finally (although timidly) raised the possibility that there might be some issues with American democracy. To which I say “where have you been for the past ten months and the decade before that?” My analysis:

New York Times shows how media have failed American democracy
The New York Times’ timid epiphany exposes how America’s media helped pave Trump’s road to authoritarianism.

Albert Speers is in the running as architect for the project.
Firing an entire federal arts commission to clear the path for your own triumphal arch? It’s a textbook indicator of authoritarian executive overreach — the exact trend we warned about in our assessment.

For anyone who still subscribes to the Washington Post,
this is how your newspaper's owner treats information that might challenge his cozy oligarchical status quo.

And he's been doing similar at WaPo too.
Bezos removed books from Amazon on Ghislane Maxwell's trial and Kevin Spacey's trial.

Inner City Press is a nonprofit in NYC.

They do fantastic work.

Fuck Bezos.
